No. 1 Duke built a commanding lead against No. 17 UNC at Cameron Indoor, led by Cameron Boozer’s dominant all-around performance (15 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists).

Cameron Boozer supplied the late scoring for Duke, including the final bursts that helped seal the win, while Yaxel Lendeborg started hot for Michigan but was bottled up for much of the game. The result likely ends Michigan’s brief run as the top-ranked team as Duke, arguably the nation’s best opponent this season, dampens the Wolverines’ ascent.
